new game – The World of CD-i

Happy New… Philips CD-i Game :-)

Remember the good old days, when we would read a preview of a new CD-i game in our favourite gaming magazine? Well, we at The World of CD-i are very pleased to reveal, on this New Year’s Eve 2022 that a new title will be coming – in February 2023 😀
The game was first previewed in Philips Media CD-i Software catalogue 1995:
Treasures of Oz is similar to Merlin’s Apprentice and Labyrinth of Crete, but aimed at a younger audience. Featuring multiple puzzles, 3 levels of difficulty, and some games 🙂 It will be released by World of Games Publishing, who recently brought you the superb Felix the Cat. Have you bought your copy yet? If not, you can still snap it up at www.worldofgamespublishing.com.

Do get in touch with us at The World of CD-i to let us know what your CD-i highlights of 2022 have been, the year that CD-i celebrated its 30th anniversary since release in Europe.

Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year and thank-you for supporting us throughout 2022 🙂

New CD-i game Nobelia is finished!

This is it!
Jeffrey aka TwBurn has finished his 1st CD-i homebrew game! Congratulations!
The game is now under the test of several persons (including The World of CD-i mates) under the most CD-i players as possible to guarantee a full compatibility.
We are proud of him and proud for being part of it with cdifan knowledge improve a faster development.

This development started 1 year ago, and in May a demo was already available.
For someone that is not involved into the gaming industry… damn… 😎
He started from scratch, and even adapted a level editor specifically for this game.
The lucky ones who joined The Philips CD-i Community got the chance to watch all the evolution of this gem.

What kind of game is it?
You are Nobelia, a female character and will explore several zones in a top view reminding the firsts Zelda’s on NES to defeat enemies using bombs (like Bomberman).
The different soundtracks are wonderfully chosen, movements are fluids and the SFX well done.
Hours of fun will be present for you!

The game is awesome! If you have tested Demo 01, well, you will get surprised!

Jeffrey is now correcting some bugs already detected and at the same time, looking for the best way to release the game. Only a Digital release or a Digital and a Physical one. To define what to do, he has created a poll to know all the different opinions from the possible future buyers you can answer right here.

In addition, and this is something that didn’t happened for so long… Nobelia do have now an official trailer!

Congratulations!
